A recall of two sweetener products has been given the second-highest risk warning by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
NuNaturals Inc. initiated a nationwide recall for certain lots of its Organic Pure Stevia and Pure Monk Fruit Sweetener on July 14 due to a labeling error. The recall was given a Class II risk warning on August 1.
NuNaturals Inc recalled 78 bottles of its Organic Pure Stevia and 78 bottles of its Pure Monk Fruit Sweetener. Both products were sold in plastic bottles with white caps.
Organic Pure Stevia – 1 oz.
- UPC: 7 39223 00204 0
- Best By: April 2028
- Lot Number: 2
Pure Monk Fruit Sweetener – 0.71 oz.
- UPC: 7 39223 00187 6
- Best By: April 2028
- Lot Number: 2
The recall affects products sold nationwide, but neither the FDA nor NuNaturals shared specific stores where the products were available.
The stevia and monk fruit products were mislabeled.
Monk fruit powder was packaged in bottles labeled as Organic Pure Stevia, and stevia powder was packaged in bottles labeled as Pure Monk Fruit Sweetener.
The FDA gave the recall a Class II risk level, meaning consuming the products “may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences,” but the risk of “serious adverse health consequences is remote.”
Neither NuNaturals Inc. nor the FDA provided instructions on what to do with the recalled products.
If you have any of the recalled sweeteners, your best bet is to stop using them and discard them.
